<p>I know a family who skipped every one of their five kids, so that each was a year younger than their classmates. Those kids were pushed to take every AP class they could, to each study two foreign languages, and to push, push, push.</p>

<p>Interestingly, not one of them was accepted to Harvard, the family legacy school. Not one got into Princeton, Brown, or Yale. They all went to the University of Chicago, which they'd never "heard of before."</p>

<p>I think they are all doing fine. :)</p>
